stamping for the weekend challenge



I'm really feeling a bit guilty for having neglected my blog, but i am busy moving shop and in between all of that i have also had a lot of internet orders for flat backed pearls that i wholesale, so just not finding enough hours in the day. The other big shake that happened this week was that my whiff of joy order finally arrived, so have had to post out those orders also, a few more days and i shoud be back on track, so i haven't gone awol just been real busy.
here is a quick post for the stamping for the weekend challenge, which is to do a project using the colors blue and brown, and i am so out of gift tags, so i thought that since i still need to make so many, here you have it.
I used this sugar nellie pip with presents for the gift tag colored with my copics and now that i have just recieved more stock of the flat backed pearls in ALL THE COLORS i dont need to color my pearls to match cos they already came in this fab brown. I have also developed quite a passion for glittah!!, so had to add some of the shiny stuff.
thanks for stopping by, dont despair blog hoppers i will be back.

Flippin' Christmas




I fell for these flippin' images when i saw them done by the talented Jak Heath, but since we dont get them this side of the globe i was cheeky enough to ask my friend Penni in the UK if ahe would mind getting some for me and pop them in the post. Well i may add, she generously sent me quite a few, so will you will probably be seeing more of them in near future.
Dont you think this Santa is just the cutest guy on the block? There are pices that need to raised as this is one of decoupage type images that are used on cards, since i HATE those stupid little foam pieces used for giving things dimension i stuck all the little pieces that would have to raised to fun foam and then raised them. I had a brick dp so i chopped that up and imitated the wall that surrounds the inside images inside the mens lavatory, their are some elves standing at the latrine.

stamping for the weekend



How bad am i? i get these fab digi images and forget where i get them from so no credit gets given, i promiase to do better as far as that goes. I made this card for the challenge on stamping for the weekend, the challenge is to use red, green and gold. Since i had colored the image according to the specs i had to use gold snow flakes to incorporate the gold into my embellishments, i added green flat backed pearls to their centres and a lush red ribbon with a bow.

A sleighfull of prezzies




I have been a busy bee, and kinda missing in blog land and if you been missing me this is why. Well blog hoppers in case you hadnt noticed its Christmas later this month and even if i dont celebrate this holiday, i do have a few people in my acquintance who do. I have loved gearing up for this lot as i have so enjoyed all the little boxes and tags and not to mention cards that us paper crafters have to make for this particular season.
So here it is finally, i have made 42 of these selighs, and each of the little boxes gets a little something. In the bottom box, the largest there are bath products, namely bath snow bubbles, salts, loofah, moisturiser and merigues. Then are note books with pencil, telephone/address books, lipsticks, chocolates, breathfreshners, nail polish Esee, earings and bracelet. Well now that thats all done i can get back to challenges before we head to the coast in two weeks.
Hope this helps inspire those that are feeling a little lost about what to do for prezzies this year as they have left things a little late, he he
please leave a commnet i so love reading them...........
